add aarch64 cross testing (needed for ARM SHA acceleration)
What changed, and why it matters
This commit only changes the project's GitHub Actions CI configuration to add automated cross-compilation testing for the aarch64 (64-bit ARM) Linux target, alongside the existing s390x target. It does not modify any library code, cryptographic logic, or user-facing behavior. There is no security issue here.
No action required. This is a benign CI infrastructure change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The patch parameterizes an existing CI job that previously ran tests only for s390x-unknown-linux-gnu so it now runs for both s390x-unknown-linux-gnu and aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu. It adds a matrix strategy, installs the selected target, and runs cross test for that target. No Rust source code, dependencies, or build outputs are changed.
